HOW WE SUPPORT Accountants

We understand that, as an accountant, you are primarily concerned with managing downside risk, but it is equally important to appreciate that risk has an upside. At ESA Risk, we have the expertise to help you and your clients control the risks that threaten strategic goals while maximising opportunities, such as entering new markets and achieving core objectives.

As an Introducer Appointed Representative of a business finance intermediary, we can help. We’ll work with you and your client to fully understand their needs before our broker finds the best finance option (covering asset, cashflow and property finance) for them.

We work with our clients to steer them through difficult times and to protect them when times are good, by working alongside them to identify growth opportunities, mitigate risk and increase profitability through creative strategic planning. ESA Risk business consultants partner with you, deep diving into your clients’ businesses to identify and understand the issues they face and make a real difference by creating workable cost effective solutions.

Whether in connection with a merger or acquisition or in the face of a crisis, ESA Risk can offer independent investigative support for companies and their professional advisors. Our experienced investigators specialise in information gathering – navigating the interface between technology and human insight to deliver the answers you are looking for. We work with speed and precision towards finding the answers you need.

We understand that dealing with high-value data and sensitive financial information makes accountants especially attractive targets for cyber criminals. Falling victim to a cyber attack can have wide-reaching consequences, such as regulatory and reputational issues. Although no one is immune to cyber threat, much can be done to avoid breaches. Our consultants can work with you and your clients to assess existing cyber security and to identify and implement improvements.

Protect and enhance the cash flow of your own and your client’s business with support from ESA Risk when recovering bad debts. If you need help tracking down a debtor, we offer efficient, cost-effective tracing services. You can trust us with additional support, whether that’s further investigations into missing assets or serving legal documents such as winding up and bankruptcy petitions.

Your clients may need to access data which has been lost, deleted or corrupted by disgruntled employees or third-party fraudsters. Additionally, you may want to preserve data should a senior member of staff leave. ESA Risk’s digital forensics team provides the services and support that will assist you and your clients when investigating employment fraud, intellectual property matters and the subsequent losses, which would otherwise have to be written off. We work with complete confidentiality in all situations. Our experts use the most sophisticated technology available, giving you the peace of mind that, should a client become the victim of fraud, we are here to help them investigate and mitigate their losses.

Navigating the ever-changing global rules and regulations is intrinsically linked with all professional services. As the regulatory landscape changes for accountants and their clients, ESA Risk consultants are here to provide expert advice to organisations of all sizes to guide them through the processes, identifying practical solutions to the complex challenges of compliance within the specific market sectors and overseas countries in which they operate.

In these difficult times, the hospitality has been hit the hardest. At ESA Risk, our hotel and leisure industry experts are equipped to help your clients succeed in difficult times. We offer comprehensive business reviews, profitability consultancy and revenue optimisation, and work towards achieving clients’ targets and successes. Our specialists also offer training and development packages, each tailored to the needs of your clients, to ensure the ongoing protection of their assets is enforced.
